§ 24. Mr. Willeyasked the Minister of Food what offer he has made to purchase any of the large surplus supplies of butter 826 now being accumulated in the United States of America.
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeNone, Sir.
§ Mr. WilleyHas the right hon. and gallant Gentleman seen the report that the United States Administration is storing surplus butter now at the rate of 1 million pounds a week? We might point out that we would like butter as well as guns.
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeThere are lots of other things we could buy, such as cheese. As a matter of fact, much of the United States butter normally exceeds the 16 per cent. allowed over here.
